Gooncrawl can have issues if you left a save sitting around and there's been enough updates since you last played(my favorite was one where my ancient character somehow loaded into a wall, with the game crashing immediately after). You'll probably have to email the server owner to delete the save. If there isn't a save, then  .

Thanks for telling me how to get fixed up. I only really go for one victory a year, and I'm really bad at this game so it takes a month and a few dozen to a hundred splats before I earn it. I figured it would be a bit quicker this time, being stuck home and all, so I decided to roll a Formicid Archeologist first, and, well...code:The real reason I'm posting the morgue, besides the laughing at how great stasis is, is that axe and those boots. I figured I'd get a nice, clean 5-rune win, no need to mess with extended, then I style a bit by opening a trove on the orb run and grab a +11 freezing executioner axe. Then I die a little on the inside.

So I've gotten pretty far with my MuFi of Gozag. Should I be spending my cash on weapon or armor shops at this point? My weapon is pretty good but it's got rF- and is 1h.quote:Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup version 0.25-a0-782-g655279c (webtiles) character file.

Weapons. The MR+++ is nice, but that falchion is a) rF- which is terrible on a Mu b) a falchion, so it has abysmal base damage. Once you've got a better weapon (a scimitar at least, though preferably a demon blade or double sword until you find more resistance sources to comfortably switch to a 2hander) then focus on jewellery.

Weapon shops, and also ctrl-f long blades to see what's laying around. You should absolutely be using something better than a falchion by now. The MR and +blink don't outweigh the fact that it's the literal lowest tier long blade(the rF- is just the cherry on the poo poo sundae).

Luckily I found a vampiric long sword and got it to +9 which served me pretty well. Too bad on V:5 I got banished to abyss 5. I haven't played in a couple of years but the abyss seems way harder that it used to be. I could not move anywhere without being surrounded. I just managed to get out with 10 hp and half my stats removed. But couldn't escape V:5 due to being slow and brainless. RIP.quote:539578 FacelessVoid the Mummy Blade (level 25, -6/214 HPs)

Longswords are only one step over falchions and you shouldn't have wasted all those enchant weapon scrolls on one. And you definitely should not have attempted v5 without a better weapon.

Just got a Naga Chei off the ground and finishing off the early game stuff. I've got Shoals and I assume that if I get hit by a mesmerise while there's multiple enemies around that can turn super deadly for me very quick and I need to spam slouch straight asap?

By 2022 in trunk you just press O and then it tells you if you win or lose based on the win rates for your race and class from previous versions.

the sole stated reasoning behind the wand removal being "there are too many wands in the game" there are too many options in this game, but i guess they're fixing that

Maybe they ought to just remove melee while they're at it, given "its relative spammability and complete lack of permanent costs"

Is the elemental staff worth using as a main weapon? I found it on lair 1, but I already have a Demon Whip of Elec. Or should I even go for a great mace or something since I'm a Fo https://pastebin.com/HS82G8Jg E: Rupert dropped a +5 Exec Axe of Freezing Reginald Bathwater fucked around with this message at 10:30 on Apr 20, 2020 |

In the abstract, the elemental staff is a worthwhile stat stick, but uh, yeah, as a Formicid the Exec Axe is definitely the obvious choice now that you have that.  I would say from my experience the elemental staff may not be an ideal weapon choice for the lategame, but it's fun and provides enough defensive flexibility to make up for its inoptimalness, at least for 3-rune. It's incredibly potent in the early to midgame, but as you fill out your armor set a more reliable weapon that isn't rolling random damage types becomes more desirable over time.

How does the orc follower thing work? I got some random reinforcements, including a priest, who then leveled into a named high priest before getting murdered by a wolf spider. I see there's an ability to give an item to a named follower--can all followers eventually level up to get a name? I had two knights with me for awhile--would they have gotten names eventually?

I see there's an ability to give an item to a named follower--can all followers eventually level up to get a name? I had two knights with me for awhile--would they have gotten names eventually? I would highly recommend giving orcs polearms, especially fast polearms like spears. Monsters aren't penalized as much as players for poking things from afar, not wanting to be right next to things to attack makes them position much less suicidally, and with polearms more of them can attack at once, especially in corridors. The reason you want fast weapons is because monster damage is mostly determined by the monster's base damage-they don't multiply the weapons base damage like a player does, instead they add their own base damage to the weapon's damage. So attacking more quickly allows big orcs like orc warlords to hit with their big baked in base damage stat more often. They'll do more damage on average on top of being more accurate and consistent. A group of orc warlords with spears/tridents/demon tridents shreds almost anything in the game very quickly.

Good to know. So I should just be holding on to good pole arms to hand over to my buddies once they get enough experience to earn a name. I like the Orc God so far--the smite he grants is useful, though I have been training invocation to boost it, so a little less xp goes to the combat abilities.

Is it possible to save and watch replays? As far as I understood .ttyrec files seems to be the replays and WebTiles version seems to save those automatically but how do you watch them?

I've used Jettyplay a few times. Opens ttyrec.bz2 as well. There's also some other things listed on the nethack wiki.

As far as I understood .ttyrec files seems to be the replays and WebTiles version seems to save those automatically but how do you watch them? 1) open https://termcast.shalott.org/tv/ in a web browser and go to the FooTV channel (or TELNET to termcast.develz.org) 2) query Sequell on freenode IRC with the search string to find the game (plays the last several turns of the game) or milestones (things like picking up a rune, killing a unique, abandoning a god, entering a branch) and add -tv to the search The listgame search format is described here but briefly !lg playername -tv To watch the end of playername's most recently ended game !lm playername -tv To watch the most recent milestone reached by playername !lm playername -tv abyss.enter urune=0 To watch the last time playername got banished with no runes There's a huge amount of specificity and if you are very bored you can e.g. !lg * god=chei urune>9 ktyp!=win cv>=0.20 -random -tv to watch randomly selected deaths of people worshipping Chei. Or deaths due directly to hell effects: !lg * kaux='the effects of hell' If you're having trouble finding what you want hop into ##crawl and describe what you want to watch and a wizard will tell you the correct formula. You can watch in super speed or slow motion, or see more of a game, using modifiers to the -tv flag, like -tv:<2:x0.5 (start twice as many turns earlier and watch at half speed). See the FooTV section of the listgame readme for more on this. kaschei fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Apr 21, 2020 |

Just going to start pushing into the Hells, Pandemonium and The Abyss for the first time as a Gnoll Skald of Chei in an attempt at my first 15 runer. Is Necromutation worth taking to avoid picking up a shitload of negative mutations? When active it'd replace Statue Form which has done well for me so far. Edit: https://pastebin.com/1guthCYf Thinking I'll learn Necromutation, Controlled Blink and then not sure if there's any other spells worth picking up at the moment. team overhead smash fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Apr 22, 2020 |
